Take my stash... PLEASE.
Stashes are much-talked-about in knitting blogland. I haven't much to say about them except YOU SHOULD BUY MINE. Well, the stuff that's for sale.
THE STASH SALE...AGAIN
My stash is getting a bit more concise. I'm learning about what I will knit, and what I'll put of knitting for ages. I know that I'm not the sort to stock up for gift-giving occasions, for example. And I don't like oddballs, maybe because I don't have the jolts of creativity that make them useful for things like toys.
There's some yarn that I've had for ages and can't bear to part with, such as the light blue silk/wool tweed, purchased years ago from Knitpicks. I even know what I want to knit with it (some sort of cabled vest), but can't seem to find the right time to start. Maybe I'll declare this year the Year of the Vest. I was thinking about the Koigu I purchased to make a second Charlotte's Web, back when I wanted to make a second one. Now, I don't want to make another, and I have no clue what to do with it that will really do justice to the yarn and maintain my sanity, but I don't want to get rid of this yarn. I'm sure most of you have yarn like this.
I'd really like to be one of those people who only has a tiny stash, for in-queue projects only, but I'm far too unreasonably attached to some of this stuff.
And, for the record, I think that flashing one's stash is silly, and I might be the only person in blogland who thinks that way. That's what makes me a unique and special snowflake.
